Telmo uses wonderful Verdejo plantings on lime and gravel soils that result in wines with intense floral aromatics, wonderful freshness, and serious weight and texture.

Plummy and modern, fresh and smooth, crowd-pleasing Merlot and a stunning value. Medium-bodied, but unrestrained, tannins are overtly smooth and supple. A fine crossover red that can go equally well with savory roast / barbecued chicken, burgers and steaks.

Technical notes

This wine has stood as a signature of fresh, floral Rueda white for 15 years. It is a blend of Verdejo, Viura and Sauvignon, but has progressively become almost entirely based on Verdejo, with a touch of Viura and and with the 2010, 3% Sauvignon Blanc.
